In the language of flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace represents haven or sanctuary. It signifies complexity and delicateness.
Queen Anne’s Lace is said to have been named after Queen Anne of England, an expert lace maker. English legend tells us that Queen Anne challenged the ladies of the court to a contest to see who could produce a pattern of lace as lovely as the flower of this plant. No one could rival the queen’s handiwork. She however, pricked her finger with a needle and a single drop of blood fell into the lace that is said to be the dark purple floret in the centre of the flower.
Another folklore says that the mother of whomever picks it and takes it into a house will die. Yet, another says that this plant will thrive if it is planted in the garden of a woman who is true to herself.
